Lyrics

Got big holes in my pockets
There's no soles in my shoes
Beans and bread next for dinner
I've got the empty refrigerator blues
And I'm a poor boy
There's ten hungry little children
Always keep me on the run
I work 27 hours a weekend
Always keeps me from having fun
The neighbours have parties 'til late at night
When I got to be at work by 4
The plumbing leeks and the water stinks
I just can't take no more
And I'm a poor boy, poor boy
Yes I'm a poor boy
And I'm a poor boy, poor boy
Yes I'm a poor boy
The power's been off twice this month
My phone's been disconnected for weeks
The car is old and always needs a tow
If it ever hits the street
I've got fever in my chest, my blood pressure is high
I'm almost deaf and I see with one eye
I did my best, I just need a rest
Before I kiss this world goodbye
And I'm a poor boy, poor boy
Yes I'm a poor boy
And I'm a poor boy, poor boy
Yes I'm a poor boy
